TUMULT
Extracts from interviews with noise pollution officers from Dundee City Council’s Environmental Health Department are combined with found sounds, songs, field recordings and other voices to create this experimental live radio piece. Part audio collage, part documentary, this is an unorthodox investigation into attitudes towards extraneous noise and noise pollution, performed and produced by Barry Burns and Mark Vernon.
